There are probably some six billion people in the world who don’t speak French. Which can be a bit of a bugger. But if you don’t, we do. Along with English, German, Italian, Spanish… Specializing originally in market research but given the frequent overlap of topics, we also now include conferences and business meetings, as well as coaching in English-language talks and presentations.

As our business has flourished over the years, our work in market research has grown from translating and interpreting focus groups and IDIs to conferences on various topics, from cosmetics to medicine. Ironically, perhaps, we also strongly encourage French people to learn to communicate in English…

Previously on its own site (fullfocusfrance.com, now closed), here you will find a list of central locations in France, companies whose main job is hiring rooms for market-research focus groups, interviews, concept labs, etc.

Frogologue, with great perspicacity and economic foresight, has entered the publishing business. Sales have doubled every year. In 2016, we hope to continue on this trajectory and beat our record and achieve the grand total of 4!

As much as we love the French language, we also believe France’s struthionine educational attitude towards English does it a great disservice. “An End to the French Language” is both a book and a talk on why the French should learn English.

About the company

Frogologue was founded by Simon Hamilton after 19 years in the industry. During that time, I got to know all the good interpreters familiar with market-research. Today, collectively, we interpret the equivalent of Proust twice a day, with fewer Madeleines and more meat. And we deliver.

Over the past 20-odd years, international market research has gradually morphed into an English-language profession, which might make some nationals mad but generally makes sense. However, we persist in offering interpreters familiar with market research working in non-English languages, for example German, Italian, Spanish, and even Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Try us!...

Today, given our successful track record and repeat requests, we now offer translation and interpreting outside the world of market-research, whether conferences, business meetings, press junkets and so on.

And, in addition and also due to demand, we provide language-coaching for French people needing to give a talk in English. When the stakes are high, it's better to get it right... For more information, see our Coaching page.
